Of the world of John Wick: Ballerina takes place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – ParabellumAnd follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), who begins his training in the traditions of Assassin of Roma Ruska.
There was a skepticism surrounding the film, especially after reporting problems on the set. However, Lionsgate would later deny that Chad Stahelski had to intervene and take care of the things of Len Wiseman, a filmmaker with a better spotted assessment (his credits include Underworld And Total reminder).
However, De Armas presented its capacities for action in stars No time to dieAnd it looks like she and Wiseman have delivered with this first big screen John Wick Spin off.
The embargo of the review for Ballerina Raised last night, and criticisms have positive things to say above all. Although this does not sound that the film innovates, from Armas is unanimously leased, and most seem eager for the suite.
“”[Ana] De Armas is a magnetic presence with all the right movements, “ writes the Hollywood Reporter, “And Wiseman’s muscular direction – with the elegant visuals of DP Romain Lacourbas and an implacable rhythm that never leaves violence for a long time – makes entertainment of action of summer stupid with a lot of style.”
The variety, in the meantime, explains, “‘Ballerina’ is a worthy entry into the cannon ‘John Wick’, although I say that, as a person who does not think that the cannon ‘John Wick’ is all that. In the end, Ana de Armas proved that fighting like a girl and fighting like a guy does not need to be significantly different, especially if they fight like a video game.”
In a 3 *review, Empire concludes, “The story is a little light, but it’s fun to watch Ana de Armas Punch, shoot, tooth and blast everyone and everyone on its way. An addition entertaining both at one of the best action franchises in cinema.”
Digital Spy rewards the same score: “If everything you want is two hours of action that are worthy of the John Wick series, then Ballerina will prove to be an ideal watch because she has excellent decorations that are elegantly executed. It is just a frustration that everything else is not at the forefront.”
IGN was full of praise with an 8/10 review that reveals, “Despite a slow start, the ballerina proves that it belongs to the world of John Wick with a combat choreography which is just as creative (and fun) as everything that the series has given us and a story and a character that stand alone.” Rolling Stone was less impressed, stressing: “‘Ballerina’ is not the spin-off of” John Wick “you are looking for.”
Finally, Indiewire sees great potential in a Ballerina franchise. “A larger and more confident suite could be exactly what this franchise needs to enjoy a peaceful transition of power”, “ The site underlines, “And to make good the full potential of a Hollywood action film which is significantly trying to iterate on John Wick instead of simply copying its movements.”
With these criticisms, a rotten score. As we reported on Actionewz.com, the film is an impressive 78% on the revision aggregator based on 82 criticisms.
This is the lowest score to date for the franchise, like 2014 John Wick received 86% of criticism. John Wick: Chapter 2 89%, just like John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. John Wick: Chapter 4 There remains the best evaluated payment with 94%. The continental: of the world of John Wick The television series has only 63%.
Ballerina arrives in theaters this weekend.
